“…Human BxPC-3 pancreatic carcinoma cells, A549 human NSCLC and U87-MG malignant glioma cells were obtained from the ATCC and cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS. P69, an SV40-immortalized normal human prostate epithelial cell line, was provided by Dr Joy L Ware (Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, USA) and grown under serum-free conditions as described previously (Bae et al, 1994). GBM6 is a primary malignant glioma cell line maintained in athymic nude mice (Yacoub et al, 2004).…”
